I am so in love with our little Londyn who arrived on Monday May 7, 2012 at 12:17 pm. She was 19 inches long and weighed 6 lbs 13 oz. I went in to be induced at 9:30am. Of course I didn't sleep because I was so anxious to meet our little girl the night before. We finally arrived. Got checked in, had a wonderful nurse and the Dr was there. A little before 11 the Dr. broke my water and the nurse started me on a tiny bit of patocin to make sure me or Londyn did not have a reaction to it. She checked me and I was at a 4 which I figured because I was close to that at my check up a few days prior. I asked for the epidural as soon as I could. He came and gave it to me. During the next 20-30 minutes, I was feeling a ton of pressure and pain. Darn this epidural, it worked but not good enough. But maybe that was a good thing. It got so bad that I asked Josh to go get the nurse. I told her I was feeling a lot of pain. She mentioned I could push the button to make the epidural work more but that could take 20-25 minutes. I pushed it alright :) I then mentioned again I was feeling a lot of pressure. She said she would check me even though she wasn't going to for an hour. Sure enough I was already at a 10.... In 30 minutes. That would explain everything :) My Mom was the same way with her labors. Which is why when my Mom had me I was born with out a Dr. I hurried and called my Mom and Sister to come. The Dr. was paged and about 30 minutes later our little Londyn was here. Everyone made it. It was an amazing moment and Londyn came out screaming. Josh was AMAZING. I could see how nervous he was the second he found out I was already at a 10. He just stood there rocking back and forth and said he can do this. He was going to no matter how nauseous he was going to get. Luckily he was able to relieved from that duty when my Mom and Sister came running in. He then was able to go my up to the head of the bed where he is most comfortable. Londyn came and it was such a happy emotional moment. I did it. She was here, she was crying, she was perfect, and she was WAY smaller then Liam and Layla :) I can honestly say the happiest moments of my life are when I am labor and the moment my sweet little children enter this world. It can not be put into words how amazing it is. What a gift it is to have children. I know there is no greater blessing.
I can not begin to describe what a sweet, sweet, spirit this little angel has. She tries so hard not to cry and just has a little frown when her tummy hurts. She lets out an occasional high pitch squeal. She is so content. How can you love something so tiny so quickly. Our family would do anything for this little peanut. She means the world to us. I can't believe that a year ago I was recovering from my tonsil and sinus surgery. I remember crying and praying that all the pain and discomfort I had been feeling for the year prior would be gone. That the surgery would work. At the time I felt an overwhelming peace that everything would be fine. That I would be a Mom again and my health would return to allow me to do so. I also had a strong feeling at thr 4th of July, 2011 when I was starting to feel back to normal that the next year I would be holding a little baby. I know that our Father in Heaven hears and answers prayers. That he has a plan for each of us. There is no doubt this pregnancy was by far my easiest, the recovery thus far has been amazing. I thank Londyn for coming into our family when she did. She is straight from Heaven and brings that sweet spirit into our home. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Londyn. I love you more then words can say.
